Thanks for the replies. DP, I think we're pretty much set on having a cylinder and system boiler, we've made a reinforced space for one in the loft which took some doing (had to widen an opening) so that's been decided now. Tony, the current boiler is a 28KW gloworm combi boiler (I don't...

Hi, I've recently done a whole house calculation using the energy saving trust's site and some fairly accurate measuring of rooms. The total comes to 33.216 kW, which I believe needs 2kW added for water heating, making approx 35 kW required. My plumber did no measurements or (visible)...

:lol: Shrek ! But seriously, I'm trying to figure out how it's broken again so soon after having a new part fitted. I'm going to have to get it repaired again and I don't want this to keep happening. What sort of misuse could break the diverting mechanism?

Hello.. Bit of an odd question - can a manual mixer shower (like this one - http://www.ideal-standard.co.uk/tratto/bath-shower-mixer-taps-a1358aa.aspx ) be broken by hand; say for instance if someone tugs the stopper too quickly or something? I ask because my bro's staying at my place...

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I'd love to put the cooker on the island, I think it's a great look - BUT, my mum's the cook and she makes a mess when she's cooking, also she uses a chip pan so she's wary of having the cooker in a position where there's no splashback. The sink under the...

Hi, we're having an extension done which will join a "sort of" out-building to the kitchen/diner giving us a wider kitchen/diner and a utility room. I've attached a rough plan of what I've been able to design for the new space (grayed area is the extension with a velux windowed roof) but...

Hello, A guy I know is still having his en-suite done and I saw the pipework today.. it's internal (he finally listened) but the soil pipe doesn't have a vent of any kind. Is this likely to be a problem? I told him it should probably be vented but he said that there are three 'stops' or...
